1. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing
their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm by 20
cm by 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm by 12 cm by 5 cm. 5% of the total
surface area is required extra, for all the overlaps. If the cost of the card board is Rs. 4
for , find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each
kind.

Ans. Given: Length of bigger cardboard box (L) = 25 cm

Breadth (B) = 20 cm and Height (H) = 5 cm

Total surface area of bigger cardboard box

= 2 (LB + BH + HL)

= 2 (500 + 100 + 125)

5% extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.

5% of 1450 =

88
Now, total surface area of bigger cardboard box with extra overlaps

= 1450 + 72.5

Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such boxes

Since, Cost of the cardboard for 1000 cm2 = Rs. 4

Cost of the cardboard for 1cm2 = Rs.

Cost of the cardboard for 380625 cm2 = Rs. = Rs. 1522.50

Now length of the smaller box = 15 cm,

Breadth = 12 cm and Height = 5 cm

Total surface area of the smaller cardboard box

= 2 (180 + 60 +75)

5% of extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.

5% of 630 = =

Total surface area with extra overlaps = 630 + 31.5 =

89
Now Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such smaller boxes

Cost of the cardboard for = Rs. 4

Cost of the cardboard for = Rs.

Cost of the cardboard for = Rs. = Rs. 661.50

Total cost of the cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind

= Total cost of bigger boxes + Total cost of smaller boxes

= Rs. 1522.50 + Rs. 661.50

= Rs. 2184

2. Find:

(i) the lateral or curved surface area of a petrol storage tank that is 4.2 m in diameter
and 4.5 m high.

(ii) how much steel was actually used if of the steel actually used was wasted in

making the tank?

Ans. (i) Diameter of cylindrical petrol tank = 4.2 m

Radius of the cylindrical petrol tank = = 2.1 m

And Height of the tank = 4.5 m

Curved surface area of the cylindrical tank = = =

(ii) Let the actual area of steel used be meters

90
Since of the actual steel used was wasted, the area of steel which has gone into the tank.

= =

= 59.4

Hence steel actually used is .

3. A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter 10.5 cm. Find the cost of tin-
plating it on the inside at the rate of Rs. 16 per .

Ans. Inner diameter of bowl = 10.5 cm

Inner radius of bowl = 5.25 cm

Now, Inner surface area of bowl =

= =

Cost of tin-plating per = Rs. 16

Cost of tin-plating per =

Cost of tin-plating per = = Rs. 27.72

4. The diameter of the moon is approximately one fourth the diameter of the earth.
Find the ratio of their surface areas.

Ans. Let diameter of Earth =

Radius of Earth =

Surface area of Earth = =

Now, Diameter of Moon = of diameter of Earth =

Radius of Moon =

Surface area of Moon = = =

Now, Ratio = = = =

Required ratio = 1: 16

5. A solid cube of side 12 cm is cut into eight cubes of equal volume. What will be the
side of the new cube? Also, find the ratio between their surface areas.

Ans. Volume of solid cube = = =

According to question, Volume of each new cube = (Volume of original cube)

92
= =

Side of new cube = = 6 cm

Now, Surface area of original solid cube =

Now, Surface area of original solid cube =

Now according to the question,

= =

Hence required ration between surface area of original cube to that of new cube = 4: 1.

6. The volume of a right circular cone is . If the diameter of the base if 28 cm,
find:

(i) Height of the cone

(ii) Slant height of the cone

(iii) Curved surface area of the cone.

Ans. (i) Diameter of cone = 28 cm

Radius of cone = 14 cm

Volume of cone =

93
 = 9856

= 48 cm

(ii) Slant height of cone =

= = 50 cm

(iii) Curved surface area of cone =

= =

7. The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21

94
cm, placed on small supports as shown in figure. Eight such spheres are used for this
purpose and are to be painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and
height 7 cm and is to be painted black. Find he cost of paint required if silver paint
costs 25 paise per and black paint costs 5 paise per .

Ans. Diameter of a wooden sphere = 21 cm.

Radius of wooden sphere = cm

And Radius of the cylinder = 1.5 cm

Surface area of silver painted part = Surface area of sphere - Upper part of cylinder for
support

= =

95
Surface area of such type of 8 spherical part

Cost of silver paint over = Rs. 0.25

Cost of silver paint over = = Rs. 2757.85

Now, curved surface area of a cylindrical support =

= =

Curved surface area of 8 such cylindrical supports

Cost of black paint over of cylindrical support = Rs. 0.50

Cost of black paint over of cylindrical support

= Rs. 26.40

Total cost of paint required = Rs. 2757.85 + Rs. 26.4

= Rs. 2784.25
